NIH invites proposals for Transformative Research Project; Letters of intent due Dec. 22

A major goal of the National Institutes for Health (NIH) is to foster bold and creative investigator-initiated research. In pursuit of this goal, the Transformative Research Projects Program has been created under the auspices of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research to enhance submission and support of exceptionally innovative, high risk, original and/or unconventional research that has the potential to have a profound impact in clinical, basic, and or behavioral/social science arenas.

NIH provides up to $25 million total costs per year for a single project. The NIH encourages applications from scientists representing all disciplines relevant to the NIH mission, including the biological, behavioral, clinical, social, physical, chemical, computational, engineering, and mathematical sciences. Interdisciplinary teams as well as individual investigators with bold ideas are encouraged to apply

The deadline for applications is January 22, 2010 with Letters of Intent due by December 22, 2009. See the instructions in the RFA (RFA-RM-09-022). Additional information is available at: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/T-R01/. Send questions to T_R01@mail.nih.gov.
